if the Cardinals finished 12-5 or 13-4, they would almost certainly fall in the real contender camp, not the fake one. Kyler would likely be having a phenomenal season if the Cards are winning 12+ games. Plus the NFC West is a tough division.
Hard to criticize the kid too much for that one. I think pretty much every RB was injured that game, and it was on the road against one of the best defenses in League. Horrible situation for a first start.
I'm glad Cards won't be going into the season with him as #2 though.
Heck, President Andrew Johnson a southern Democrat from Tennessee who remained loyal to the Union during the war pardoned/declared amnesty for every former Confederate on Christmas 1868. Which included Jefferson Davis, who was about to go on trial for treason and other charges a month later...
I guess it would have been an amusing scenario if the 49ers had scored a TD instead of FG on first drive in OT. Many 49ers players would be celebrating thinking they had won the game.
As a Cards fan I agree. If I was a 49ers fan, losing 3 Super Bowls and several NFC Championship games in the last three decades would be a major gut punch. Especially since the SB losses were heartbreaking ones much like the Cardinals-Steelers Super Bowl.
Having numerous opportunities of...
Both were not great. However, angrily shouting and bumping(hard enough to knock him off balance) a 65 year old overweight guy with previous health issues is far more idiotic and dangerous.
Honestly, I find myself watching the free streaming service Tubi more than some I pay for. They tend to have some quality movies/shows from 10+ years ago that you often don't get on Netflix, Prime, etc....
Some on social media want to blame the missed Xtra point but he did make two very long FGs. The play calling by Kyle right after the half was the bigger problem. Going completely pass happy and putting up zero points the entire quarter.(plus the missed opportunities in first quarter.)
Wilks...
We should probably accept that the defense is still going to be pretty awful. If it can improve to just somewhat bad, we are in good shape I guess. The fact the Cardinals are becoming a strong rushing offense that can chew up clock can certainly help though. My realistic expectations are...
Agree Stout. The optimism for me is simply because the Cards seem to have a solid coaching staff in place.
We aren't 4-12 with Kliff( or one of the many other dreadful coaches we have seen over decades) which requires straight up hopium heading into following seasons.
Bidwill finally...
My expectations for next season are the team hovering around .500 much of the time. The offense could be quite dangerous, but the Cards will still be a year away from being a major threat because of defense.
Granted, if the offense is doing really well, even a middling/mediocre defense could...
Kyler record against NFC West teams in 5 years: 5 wins, 17 losses.
We really need Kyler to figure out how not to be atrocious against the Rams especially.
If they lose to the Seahawks Sunday, they finish 0-6 in division. Has that happened before?
the really good Kyler needs to show up in...
I agree with most of this except the Eagles are a very good team part. They are currently imploding and the defense is a complete dumpster fire with Patricia as DC now.
The OC isn't much better. The play calling by Eagles after the Gannon onside was laughably bad, and the Eagles fans in...
I certainly wouldn't mind. It is just a shame our SOS kills us. Probably a 1% chance Titans or Chargers win. Giants beating Eagles wouldn't be shocking though.
